Li-Ning, the third most popular mfr. in China behind Nike and Adidas, signed Damon Jones of the Cleveland Cavaliers to be their spokesperson. Abel Wu, their VP of brand marketing, explained, "We were looking for an N.B.A. star to represent the N.B.A. image and be our spokesperson.

Or maybe Yao Ming's younger brother or dad.
